STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 661,984, dated November 20, 1900.

Application filed May l1, 1900. Serial No. 16,343. (No model.)

To all whom t muy concern:

Be it known that l, JAMES EDWIN HATCH, a citizen of the United States, residing at West Eaton, in the county of Madison and State ot' New York, have invented a new and useful Stove, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in stoves, 1he object of my invention being to provide a stove with a smoke-flue forming a radiator and an air-Hue heated by said radiator, thereby increasing the heating capacity of the stove without increasing the quantity of fuel required thereby.

My invention is adapted for application both to heating and cooking stoves and may also lbe applied to furnaces and ranges.

My invention consists in providing a stove having a combustion-chamber in its upper side for the direct radiation of heat, with a smoke-flue forming a radiator passing from said combustion chamber and extending around the stove within the casing thereof and below the combustion-chamber and an air-duct disposed within the said radiator and adapted to be heated thereby, whereby exterior air in passing through said air-duct is heated and discharged therefrom, the stove being hence adapted to heat both by direct radiation eXteriorly and by heating a current of air passing through an air-duct disposed within the stove.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis an end elevation of a stove constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is avertical transverse sectional View of the same. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional View of the same. Fig. 4 is a similar view showing a modification. Fig. 5 is a similar View of another modified form of stove constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 6 is partly an end elevation and partly a sectional view of the same. Fig. 7 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of another moditled form of my invention.

In the upper portion of the stove-casing (indicated at l) is located the combustion-chamber 2. A smoke-flue 8` for the smoke and other products of combustion extends from the combustion-chan'iber on one side thereof` downwardly within one side of the stove-casing, transversely across the bottom thereof,

and upwardly on the opposite side, where it communicates with the pipe 4 for carrying off said smoke and other products of com- 5 bustion. Achamber 5 is thus formed within the stove-casing below the combustion-chamber and is partly surrounded by the smokeflue and adapted to be heated by radiation from the latter, as will be understood. In the said chamber 5 is placed a baffle or division plate 6, which extends from one end thereof nearly to the opposite end thereof, thereby forming a flue in the said chamber or converting-said chamber into a flue, and the said flue at one end of the chamber communicates through the bottom of the casing with the air exteriorly of the'stove, as at 7, the air-flue also extending to the upper or other suitable portion of the stove, as at 8. The air-flue may be otherwise constructed without departing` from the spirit` of my invention, and l do not limit myself to the precise construction thereof herein shown and described.

In the modied form of my invention shown in Fig. 4 I provide a number ot' Vertical tubes 9, forming thelower mouths of the air-duct, and which commmnicate with the lower portion of the chamber 5 and eX- tend therefrom through the lower side of the smoke-Hue 3 and through the bottom of the stove, as shown.

In the modified form of my invention shown in Figs. 5 and 6 the stove is of cylindrical form.

By arranging the combustion-chamber in the upper side of the stove-casing and providing the smoke-flue,which extendsfrom one side of the combustion-chamber around and immediately within the stove-casing,the stove is caused to radiate heat exteriorly throughout substantially the entire superlicial area of its casing directly from the heat of the re, and by providing the air-duct, which is disposed within the stove-casing and is heated by internal radiation from the said smokeflue, the heating capacity of the stove is increased to the maximum, as will be understood.

The chamber 5,hereinbefore referred to, may constitute the oven of an'ordinary cookingstove or heating-stove of the variety known as a parlor-heater. The baffle or division plate may be readily removed from the oven IOO when not required and is of a length somewhat less than that of the oven. Hence the said plate maybe moved longitudinally in the oven. When the plate is in the position shown in the drawings the air-heating lines are'formed in the oven, as hereinbefore described; but, when the plate is drawn against the front side of the stove out of the plane of the vertical section of the air-heating tine and the valves 9 are closed the oven may be used for baking and roasting purposes.

Having thus described my invention, I claim- 1. A stove having a combustion-chamber, an oven immediately beneath and in contact wiih said com bustion-chamber, a smokefiue, leading from said combustion-chamber around the said oven, and disposed immediately Within the casing of the stove, and ex terior air-openings leading to and from the eeL9s4 said oven, for the purpose set forth, substantially as described.

2. A stove having a combustion-chamber, an oven immediately beneath and in contact with said combustion-ehamber, aslnokeflue leading from said combustion-chamber around the said oven, and disposed immedi-
